The result is a recommended refurbishment method that is a best fit for the customer and process, and may include the opportunity for bushing enhancement at little or no additional cost.

Enhancement

We offer two types of enhancement options to improve the performance of refurbished bushings: modification and partial relining. Both enhancements can improve the life and/or the voltage/beam capacity of the bushing.

Modification of a bushing includes both renewing a bushing interior wall by removing material, while reshaping the wall to improve performance.

Partial Relining

Partial Relining of a bushing adds new and stronger material (**) to areas most susceptible to arcing damage.
